| Summary: | Background and Objective: Ignoring pain especially in infancy causes serious complications. Considering recent studies about
sedative effect of breast-feeding and oral glucose on neonates, this study was
performed to survey each method after neonatal period.
Materials and Methods: This study is a triple blind clinical trial on 211 infants aged 2, 4,and 6 months, which were randomly categorized into
control, breast-fed, and oral glucose groups. Interventions were performed two minutes before
injecting DPT vaccine. The infants’ reactions were recorded before,
during, and after intervention. Two experts evaluated pain intensity by Modified
Behavioral Pain Scale (MBPS). The
crying duration was measure by chronometer in second.
Results:
Pain intensities for breast-fed, oral glucose, and control groups were
5.77±0.18, 6.63±0.16, and 5.87±0.22, respectively. Least
Significant Difference (LSD) test showed that MBPS was significantly lower in breast-fed compared to oral glucose
group (P value=0.014). The difference between breast-fed and
control groups was not significant. Crying duration did
not have significant difference among the three groups.
Conclusion: It seems that breast-feeding has
better effect on vaccination pain compared to oral glucose. |
